Every year, on June 21, we celebrate World Music Day with the annual concert of the ERT National Symphony Orchestra. Under the baton of internationally acclaimed conductor and music director Michalis Economou, the orchestra will take us on a journey through ten different magical worlds. During this musical voyage, audiences will experience some of the greatest masterpieces of the global symphonic repertoire, including Ravel’s Boléro, Smetana’s symphonic poem The Moldau, Elgar’s triumphant Pomp and Circumstance March, and many more.
